October 13, 2008 (Computerworld) A recent review of 246 H-1B visa applications by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) found that 21% contained fraudulent information or "technical violations" of federal laws and regulations.
The violation rate was even higher in cases involving computer professionals. Twenty-eight of the 104 that were examined, or 27%, had violations of some sort, according to a USCIS report that was finalized in September and publicly released last week by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
USCIS investigators examined a random sample of the nearly 97,000 H-1B petitions filed in late 2005 and early 2006. They found problems such as forged signatures, fake degrees and the use of shell companies in applications. Other issues were discovered during visits to work sites. For instance, some employers "benched" H-1B holders when work wasn't available or had them doing jobs that weren't listed on their visa applications, the report said.
Fraud indicators
* Businesses with 25 or fewer employees and revenue of less than $10 million had higher rates of H-1B fraud than larger companies did, the USCIS said.
* Of 114 cases involving workers from India, 25% were found to involve fraud or technical violations. No other countries had statistically valid samples.
The report's authors called the level of fraud a "significant vulnerability" for the H-1B program and wrote that the USCIS is making "procedural changes" in response to the findings. An agency spokesman said Friday that possible steps include checking applications against external records and using fraud indicators to flag petitions for increased scrutiny.

Hi,
I need to renew my passport at the Indian Consulate in NY. I
have a couple of quick questions. It would be great if someone could
answer them for me.
(1) Do I need to leave my I-94 card in when I give them my
old passport? Is it OK if I remove it? Do they make a big deal of this?
A. It is OK to remove the i-94
(2) In the online form, what do I choose for the "Service Desired" field?
"Re-issue of passport"?
A. Yes, if you are sending the application within one year of your old passports expiry.
Best Regards,
Euclid

I have some issues with my 140.. I have doubt it might get denied... so if my my husband (H4) starts working now on EAD, he will loose his h4 status... and later if 140 is denied , he will be out of status , he has to go back to india and get h4 stamped... I don't want to go through all this hassel..so just matter of couple of months.. will wait for 140 decision...and if it gets approved he will use EAD to work.

But my lawyer chose this. and I already signed the form. Does it really matter? As he stated " Spose has an approved I-140"
I'm sure you'll be okay. All they want to know is the basis of your eligibility for filing I-485 and choosing (h) and adding this explanation should be fine.

I would always go by the DOS website first. It looks like the consulate website confused India and China dates.

When we use the recent I94 (from the H1), do we need to say "were you inspected by an immigration officer?" as "yes"?
The start date for this should be the date of entry at the airport or the start date on the recent I94?
First question answer is "Yes" though you got new H1/H4 or any other visa extension papers the I-94 will be same which intially inspected by an immigration officer. That's why answer is Yes.
The start date is the time when you enter the country.

thanks in advance.
My 9th year H1B will expire in two days. My I-140 is still pending with TSC. I've sent my papers for H1B renewal. Hoping to get an extension till March 2010.
Hang on...I-140 approval is the key for 3 year H1B extension and 2 year EAD extension.

Anybody filed your H1 ext yourself? Is it worth it?
This will be my 12th yr extension. I have the previous extension papers (copies) that the lawyer sent me, so i was thinking i can look at those and draft a new ext myself. But with the latest news of H1 denied for consulting companies, is it worth doing it myself? I have worked for the same client for the last 11 yrs.

Hello,
I am working with A on h1b and the visa expires on May 1st 2010.
Recently I got another offer with B and they filed my h1b transfer (regular).
The offer they gave me verbally is different from what's on the offer letter, when I contacted them there insist that they never "promised" , so I did not want to take that offer now.
Can I now ask employer A to file the extension and continue working with A?. Will that create any issues if the transfer with B gets Approved/rejected?. or is there any alternate?. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hello gurus,
What is the good reason to be specified for visitor visa extension? I understand that USCIS may reject extension application if the reason is not good. Appreciate any helpful responses

Visa recapture requires legislation. Unfortunately (or should I say fortunately?)USCIS is not in tthat business.

The House voted Sunday night on the Senate bill for health care reform, passing it 219 to 212. President Obama won a historic victory in the struggle for health care reform Sunday as the House of Representatives passed a sweeping bill overhauling the American medical system. What does this mean for Immigration? Big hope for the future, but a lot of work remains to be done.
Tens of thousands of people turned out on Washington's National Mall on Sunday to support the Obama administration in its next big battle, a renewed effort to overhaul U.S. immigration laws.
Speaking by video to the crowd, President Obama said he would do "everything in my power" to get a bipartisan deal within the year.
"You know as well as I do that this won't be easy, and it won't happen overnight," Obama said. "But if we work together across ethnic, state and party lines, we can build a future worthy of our history as a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws."
Though overshadowed by the historic debate on health care taking place in the nearby halls of Congress, Sunday's rally set the stage for a revival of efforts to reshape U.S. immigration law. The issue has been largely sidelined since a similar push by the Bush administration failed in 2007. We do hope that something will change very soon.

Samething happened to me. On 11/25/2007 i saw a LUD on my approved I-140 (which was approved in Dec, 2006). And then LUD on 12/06/2007 and 12/07/2007 on I-485 for both self and spouse.
Not sure what it could be?? I filed I-485/EAD/AP in late July, 2007. Have received EAD and have done finger printing. Have not received AP yet. Filing Center in Nebraska. My PD is October, 2005, EB3 ROW.
